Part our French copper kitchenalia collection, we got these from an antique dealer in Chatillon sur Seine, Burgundy, but they apparently originally came from the clearance of a local Chocolaterie/Patisserie.
It’s a set of five well used graduated copper pans with copper riveted iron handles that I’m advised date to around the 1960s.
Heavy, professional quality pans, all are unlined and according to my advice this is usual in pans used in the making of sweet products (apparently unlined copper is only suitable for sweet foods as the copper reacts with the salt in savoury foods).
A nice range of sizes from large to small - 20 cm diameter, 18 cm, 16 cm, 14 cm and 12 cm - they display really well.
Now worn, they’re probably for decoration, however they make an instant “batterie de cuisine” display set that is still very sound and bright, possibly functional with the right food types, and also make great display pieces of French kitchenalia.

In good vintage condition with wear, knocks and staining consistent with age and use - please examine photographs carefully for condition.
These have just had a thorough wash and I’m sure they would polish up nicely if so required.
The copper is in good, sound, used condition with some tarnishing, staining, knocks, a few dents, scratches and wear - see photos.
I have found several small dents, presumably from use, including to the rear lower edge of the 14 cm pan which I’ve tried to photograph, but there is nothing serious or significant - see photos.
The iron handles are cast in a rustic manner and are in a good, sound, condition with some wear and rust - see photos.
There are prominent triple copper rivets to the handle joints and all handles are secure at the joints with no looseness.
The interiors are used with wear and staining but sound - see photos.
I can find no maker’s mark.
